It's really a miserable family. But life, that's it, it's hard to get things done.

The ox cart creaked along the dirt road, and Lu Renbing soon fell asleep again. The insects in the world beside the road are exceptionally clear, and the clean and transparent countryside of the nineties is really intoxicating.

The fourth uncle's name is Hong Xian, and his nickname is Liansuo, he is sixty-six years old this year, and he is a taciturn old man in the countryside. Except for working in the fields, there is almost no spare time.

He doesn't play cards, he doesn't drink, and his only hobby is smoking. When I'm not working, I squat at the gate and smoke one bite at a time.

He is pale and pitiful in this life, and it seems that he came to this world to support the eldest nephew of the continent. Then it's hard work and hard work.

He never complained, and he didn't have any extra words, just like the scalper pulling the cart. One day in the future, he will fall, and it may be a relief for him.

He was so silent that no one even remembered his name, his peers called him the fourth, and the juniors called him uncle, uncle, and master. When he dies, no one will remember him except for a name written on the family tree.

The old man of Liansuo was smoking a dry cigarette and driving the car, and no one knew what he was thinking in his spiritual world.

By the time Lu Renbing woke up, the ox cart had already arrived home. He jumped out of the car, and the fourth uncle led the ox to unload the car and tie the ox.

The girl Lu Shengmei has come back from school and cooked a meal.

She made water, brought it to Lu Renbing, and fetched a basin of water for her fourth master.

The old man took out a handful of candy from his pocket and stuffed it into Xiao Nizi, Lu Shengmei's praise was still good to her. The folds on Lu Laohan's face turned into a heap of laughter. It was perhaps one of the few happy moments of his life.

"Xiaomei, has your mother cleaned up, did you go crazy today?" Lu Renbing asked while scrubbing.

"Packed up, didn't go crazy today, when I came back, she was sleeping in bed." Lu Shengmei said.

"Well, she didn't eat."

"I ate, I fell asleep after eating."

"That's good, have you eaten?"

"No, I'm waiting for you and grandpa to come back and eat together!"

"In the future, you will eat first, don't wait for us, go to sleep after eating, what time is it, don't you go to school?"

"Got it, Dad, hurry up and eat!" Lu Shengmei changed the subject.

After eating, Lu Laohan put on a straw hat and went to the field to look at the melons with a cigarette bag and pot. Lu Shengmei cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Lu Renbing returned home and fell asleep.

Lu Ashan's wife is called Liu Guihua, she is five years old Chinese New Year's Eve today, and the Lu family spent 200 yuan in exchange for the bride price. The appearance is okay, more pleasing to the eye than the tiger girl, not as good as the rich daughter-in-law.

Lu Shengmei had already washed her face, and she was lying on the bed and falling asleep, and she couldn't see any difference from ordinary people. Lu Renbing gave her a pulse, and her body was quite healthy, and there was no major problem.

Mental illness, go back and get some medicine for her to recuperate, it is estimated that the problem is not big. After all, he is also a person who has spent most of his life in a mental hospital. A minor illness like Liu Guifen is really not a big problem.

The main reason is that the Lu family is so poor that they have never given Liu Guifen treatment to a regular hospital at all. That is, I have been to a few village doctors with so-called ancestral secret recipes and taken a few pairs of medicines. It doesn't sound very reliable, and the effect is not as good as a pair of chains. 118

The most incurable disease in the world is the disease of poverty.

Early the next morning, Lu Shengmei cooked the meal early, and after feeding Liu Guifen, she went to school with her schoolbag on her back. The broken bicycle at home is her means of transportation.

Lu Renbing had breakfast, tied Liu Guifen, set up an ox cart, brought food to the fourth uncle and went to the melon field.

Lu Ashan's family has a total of six acres of land, and after planting the land in the past few years, after paying the public grain, there is a lot of surplus grain, but it cannot be sold at a high price. Prices continue to break through, that is, food prices do not rise.

A few years ago, the village was still a 10,000-yuan household that everyone was looking at, but now it is nothing. What can you do with 10,000 yuan? An illness, a few days in the hospital, and all of them are exhausted.

Therefore, the farmers who are active in their minds have begun to work in the process. The burden at home is heavy, and people like Lu Ashan can only play tricks from the ground.

After several explorations, the Lu family finally recognized the way to grow watermelons. I planted two acres this year, and God appreciated my face, and I didn't give the next hail or anything.

After this season, it will not be a problem to earn two or three thousand yuan.

When Lu Renbing arrived at the melon field, the fourth uncle had already picked the melon, Lu Renbing asked him to eat, and he began to carry the watermelon into the car.

"Uncle, you can go home again today, there is no big gathering today, I will go to other villages by myself. Looking at the melon field, I went to other fields to hoe and hoe grass. At noon, remember to go back and get Gui Fen something to eat. ”

"Okay!" The fourth uncle was as silent as ever.

It is not normal for two people to sell melons together, that is, when they are in a big market, the fourth uncle goes to help watch the car. He didn't go to school, that is, when he was literate, he recognized a few words. The farthest place I've ever been to is the county seat.

Let him sell melons, it is far better to let him serve the crops freely.

After getting the cart and carrying the hay bag, Lu Renbing set up the ox cart and went on the road.

In the past, Lu Ashan used to set up ox carts and walk the streets and alleys to sell melons. When people in the countryside buy melons, some give cash, and some exchange grain for food. It's troublesome again, and it can't be sold at a high price.

Today, Lu Renbing doesn't plan to go to the village to sell, he plans to go to the city to sell. Now there is no chengguan in the county, and it is not forbidden for ox carts to enter the city, just go to the city to sell melons.

The speed of the ox cart is really not fast, and it takes more than an hour to walk for thirty miles.

When he entered the city, he didn't pay attention to the market, but just drove to various urban villages and family homes. Selling melons for two cents and a pound in the village, and selling four cents here, everyone thinks it's good.

It's not that the people in the city are stupid, but the melon pulled by Lu Renbing is really good-looking, the melon is also sweet, and Lu Renbing's eloquence is also good. More than 500 catties of melons were sold out at two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

However, at this speed, Lu Renbing is still not satisfied. Now the melons in the melon field are at the peak of maturity, and the melons of two acres of land are too tiring to sell just like this.

So Lu Renbing bought a good cigarette, visited many small shops in the community, and reached a supply agreement of 1,000 catties per day. In fact, each store will help sell a hundred and eighty pounds of boxes.

Now is the peak season for melons and fruits to ripen, and Lu Renbing's watermelons have no competitive advantage. Making a fortune by growing watermelons is basically no fun.

It is said that the price of watermelons in the area may be a little higher, but Lu Renbing's ox cart is tired and he can't make a few more dollars. If you want to get rich, you have to think long-term.

At the very least, fly and replace the ox cart with a tractor.

His main task is to protect his eldest daughter, and to find the variables of this world. Getting rich or something, it's all secondary.
